Outdoor Unit Installation

Installing the outdoor unit
1)
When installing the outdoor unit, refer to “
Precautions for Selecting the Location
” on page 3 and the “
Outdoor Unit
Installation Drawings
” on page 4.
2)
If drain work is necessary, follow the procedures below.
2.
Drain work
• If the drain port is covered by a mounting base or floor
surface, place additional foot bases of at least 1-1/4
inch (30mm) in height under the outdoor unit’s feet.
• In cold areas, do not use a drain socket, drain caps (1,2)
and a drain hose with the outdoor unit. (Otherwise, the
drain water may freeze, impairing heating performance.)

Refrigerant Piping
CAUTION
• Use the flare nut fixed to the main unit. (This is to prevent cracking of the flare nut as a result of deterioration over time.)
• To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to the inner surface of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A.)
• Use a torque wrench when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage.
• Align the centers of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with a spanner and a
torque wrench.
Do not apply refrigeration
oil to the outer surface.
Flare nut
Apply refrigeration
oil to the inner
surface of the flare.
Do not apply refrigeration oil to
the flare nut to avoid tightening
with excessive torque.
